Linda Quinn is the driving force behind a movement to honor
local athlete Ann Williams Planas and Williston High School's
Coach Robert Patterson. Quinn took her cause to Levy County's,
school board May 22, when she asked that the former Williston Higli
School student and the man who coached her be memorialized.
Quinn, who runs the high school athletic field concession stand,
wants to erect a memorial adjacent to the WHS ball field honoring
the life and achievements ofPlanas. Quinn is also asking that
the ball field be named after Patterson, who has been coaching at
Williston High for 28 years.
Planas was the daughter of Ray and Pat Williams of
Williston. After graduating in 1988, she played on the National
Championship ACA softball team. It was there Planas was spotted
by a scout. She went onto Nichols University in Louisiana with a
full scholarship in softball.
In 1994, she joined the inaugural Colorado Silver Bullets
team, a woman's professional baseball-touring club. The Silver
Bullets play against men's professional, college, semi-pro and
amateur teams. Planas later went into a coaching career. She was
named into the Southwestern Georgia University Hall of Fame for
coaches from 2000 '02.
Planas' career was cut short in 2005, when she was diagnosed
with cancer. She refused chemotherapy treatment while pregnant
with her second child.
Knowing her time was limited, she bequeathed her uniform,
softball glove and autographed softball to the National Baseball
Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Planas lost her battle with cancer Feb. 6, 2006. She was 34
years old. She is survived by her husband Martin, her six-year-old
son Ryan and her three-year-old daughter Angelina.
Planas' parents established a scholarship fund in their
daughter's name in May of 2006. Bobbie Smith, president of
the Levy County School Foundation, assistedthem. The $500
scholarship is awarded each year to a graduating softball player.
This year's scholarship recipient was Katelyn Guinsler.
Williston High School girl's softball team, the Lady Devils,
dedicated their season last year to Planas. It was with Coach
Patterson's leadership the team became state runners-up.
Quinn plans to create a butterfly garden to surround the
proposed memorial. The girl's softball team players plan to help
Quinn with the planting of the garden. Carl Carnegie of Williston's
C, Carnegie:Funeral Home has offered to create at cost, a stone etched
photograph of Planas for the monument.
Quinn hopes by preserving the memory of Planas, future
students and athletes will draw inspiration from her amazing life.
She will continue in her quest to name the ball field after Coach
Patterson as he continues to bring out the best in his ball players..

Ann Williams Planas graduated from Williston High School
and played for the Colorado Silver Bullets.

Douglas.
Prior to working for Chiefland, Anderson served on Cedar Key's Police Department for two and a half
years.
Rogers said that Anderson's handling of two armed robberies late last year contributed to his receiving the
award. In the first instance, Anderson responded to an armed robbery call Dec. 18. A woman had called police
to report she was robbed while sitting in her car in her own driveway. By the time Anderson arrived, the two
suspects had fled; however, he caught up with them and held them at
gunpoint until backup officers arrived.
The suspects admitted to the robbery and directed Anderson to the
location of the stolen property.
SN The second armed robbery occurr edjust eight days later, this timeo
at the Chiefland branch of Capital City Bank. Sergeant Al Graves, who

Levy County voters matched district results in one of the four
state primaries held Tuesday. Suzan Franks beat her opponent,

percent of the vote. County voters approved Franks by more than
two to one, by giving Franks 207 votes to Ravenscraft's 100.
Charles S. Dean will be the Republican State Senate candidate.
He received 45.3 percent of the vote over his closest contender
Dennis Baxley, with 43.6. County voters favored Baxley with 261

House candidate against Republican Ron Schultz. Diaz-Fonseca
received 59.6 percent of the vote to closest contender Patricia

Cougars, leopards and

hedgehogs.... oh my!!

By CASSIE JOURNIGAN
STAFF WRITER

Journal photo by WAYNE JOURNIGAN
The gate to the property used to house one couple's
collection of exotic and native wildlife.

As a rural area, Levy County fits in the center of the nature coast. However,
exotic nature or at least exotic wildlife will no longer be a part of that
setting. So said the Board of County Commissioners Tuesday after a public
hearing on the issue.
John Paul Jones and his wife Jennifer recently moved to the area from
South Florida, bringing their collection of exotic and native wildlife with
them. The animals include two cougars, a leopard, six otters, two owls, three
crocodiles, an alligator, two hedgehogs, a Florida king snake, tortoises and
tarantulas.
They take the animals on the road, traveling to public venues such as
schools, and not so public occasions such as birthday parties, according to
John Jones.
They live on ten acres along County Route 336, about seven miles
southwest of Chiefland.
Building and zoning official Rob Corbett presented the Jones' special
use request. He recommended the use be denied, because local regulations
prohibit housing exotic reptiles within one-quarter mile of a residential area.
The Joneses are located close to two residential areas Collier Acres and
Rocky Hammock Oaks with about ten homes within that quarter mile.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission investigator K.
J. Holmes disagreed with the recommendation. He told commissioners
they could regulate factors such as cage sizes, fence heights and business
operations regarding the animals, but the issue of what animals were
allowed was the sole jurisdiction of the Fish and Wildlife Commission.
Several residents asked that commissioners deny the application. None
spoke in favor, although one resident, Remate Cannon, said she was neither
for nor against the request. She asked Corbett where the couple could locate
in Levy County if the special use was denied. Corbett said there were many
areas that met the criteria.
Local resident John Fisher said he came to the hearing wanting a lot of
answers, but found the hearing gave him more questions. "I strongly oppose
this special exception permit," he said. "Safety is a big concemrn...If anything
at all escapes what impact will that have what's going to happen to the
natural habitat?"
Sonya Fisher also lives close by. Her objection to the special use
exception was based on diseases certain animals carry. She said she is
familiar with the Center for Disease Control statistics due to her ongoing
eight-year stint in the pediatrics infectious disease unit at the University of
Florida. "Ninety percent of all captive reptiles carry salmonella according to
the CDC," she said, "and there were 93,000 cases of documented salmonella
infection last year alone."
Jennifer Jones rebutted Fisher: "All reptiles carry salmonella in their
digestive tracts. That means iguanas and turtles too." Saying that both were
common house pets, she added that the salmonella becomes an issue when
animals cages are not properly cleaned, and when people who handle them
fail to wash after handling them.
Both John and Jennifer Jones brought up the safety issue in their
presentation and rebuttal statements. "The gate is almost always locked with
a padlock," John Jones said.
One resident brought a picture indicating otherwise. Handing
commissioners a color photo of the driveway with the gate open, he said the
picture was taken at 4:18 one afternoon.
The gate stood wide open June 5, the afternoon of the hearing as well.
After Commissioner Lily Rooks motioned to deny the special use,
Commissioner Nancy Bell asked that the county allow the Jones a
reasonable amount of time to find another location for their animals.
Rooks did not think granting a timeframe was necessary, recalling a
comment John Jones had said earlier in the meeting. He had stated he had
friends in South Florida where he could take his animals in an emergency.
Commissioners unanimously denied the exception. u

Letter ti, th Edior

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how
thankful I am for the help and support of the Humane
Society of Levy County Inc., and Levy County Animal
Services. As the President of the Humane Society of
Inverness my goals are as follows:
1. To stop the unnecessary breeding of unwanted pets
through low-cost spay and neuter programs.
2. To bring education and awareness to the public about
spay/neuter, and pet health care.
3. To place adoptable pets from local shelters in forever
loving homes.
As one can imagine this is both a heart-warming and
heart-wrenching mission. It takes many people, from
many communities, networking together to bring this goal
into focus. My not-for-profit organization obtains these
adoptable pets from "Rescue Friendly" shelters. We then

have all pets examined by a licensed veterinarian where they
are vaccinated, spayed and/or neutered, and then adopted
through our adoption programs.
If not for "Rescue-friendly Shelters" my goals would be
almost impossible to obtain. The best "Rescue Friendly-
Shelter" by far, is Levy County Animal Services, thus
making them our main shelter to obtain adoptable pets from.
Levy County Animal Services is one in only a small handful
of county shelters that works injunction with their local
Humane Society to move adoptable pets out of their shelter
and into a rescue group organization. A cooperation that
is rarely seen, but an action that speaks louder than words
about their care and concern for the animals in their county.
The Humane Society of Levy County Inc. plays a huge
part in this process, and is the main reason why we get most
all of our pets from the Levy County Animal Shelter. These
are some of the things that we have come to count on when
we pull pets from Levy County Animal Services that The
Humane Society of Levy County Inc. has and continues to
provide to these pets and our rescue group:
1. All animals are temperament tested, ensuring that
only adoptable pets go out to rescue groups. This
alone ensures that rescue groups are not clogged with
un-adoptable pets, and also ensures that a child or
adult is not injeopardy of being bitten by adopting
out a food or fear-aggressive animal.
2. They provide and dispense wormer to ensure that the
animals are not suffering from internal parasites.
3. All pets with flea infestation are treated with Capstar
to eliminate the spread offurther infestation and
illness that come from fleas.
4. Pets with mange have already been started on a
treatment regimen for the mange.
5. Pets with small injuries or wounds have been
assessed and are started on a treatment program, and
on several occasions The Humane Society of Levy
County Inc. has paid for some animals to be treated
by a veterinarian for various medical conditions.
6. Rescue groups are given all information about the
pets that is known. Whether it be the pet s situation
before it entered the shelter, and/or after it has been
at the shelter. I cannot stress the importance of this
knowledge! We are given a complete run down on
each and every animal and its own circumstances
and/or medical regimen that it is currently on.
7. The Humane Society of Levy County Inc. has on many
occasions transported these pets to us.

Many lives are saved due to the efforts of The Humane
Society of Levy County Inc. by starting these pets on
medicine and/or wormer as soon as they enter the shelter.
One day, sometimes just a few hours, can mean the
difference between.life or death to a young pet who may be
suffering from intestinal parasites, and/or an illness such as
Parvo Virus, Giardia, or Coccidia. To know that treatment
has been started and how many days the pet has been on
treatment is a great benefit to us as a rescue group. We are
pulling healthier, happier, more adoptable pets from Levy
County Animal Services due to the fact that they are so
willing to work in junction with The Humane Society of
Levy County Inc. Because of the cooperation of these two
entities the needless death rate of adoptable pets in Levy
County has dropped drastically, thus ensuring the rise in
adoptions of healthy and happy pets to their community as
well as other communities.
Thank You for the Team Work,

AROUND LEVY COUNTY

LEVY COUNTY JOURNAL

LOG CABIN 1iI9rEEHRS
Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, May 31, at the Levy
County Quilt Museum. It was a busy day again; Pat is helping
new members to learn to quilt. She is a great teacher and
has lots of know-how. B.J. and husband are back from their
vacation they took on the motorcycle; they went all the way to
Colorado and decided to come home. They got to see so much
of our beautiful country.
Lois Fink will be quilting the king-size Log Cabin at home.
It turned out to be so colorful using aqua and pink and using a
pattern that really showed up the colors.
Cleo Prevatt was back after falling and breaking her wrist.
She is so much help; no matter what there is to do. She and
Claude are taking care of their two-year-old granddaughter and
that is a great time they have with her. She is a smart little girl
and at the age you have to be careful what you say.
Nick Turner and six boys were out Tuesday and did a great
job of doing so much. Thanks Lancaster.
Lunch was so good, baked chicken, squash, potato fritters,
cantaloupe and all kind of breads, biscuits, cake and so much
more. Thirteen members and eight visitors were present.m

MLss H

says ... '

Good morning! Isn't'it great to be alive and well, and have so
many friends? Oh where would I be without Jesus and my friends?
Thanks Greg, you were there for me when I needed Melanie
and she wasn't there. Why Mel, why don't you stay in touch?
Remember I am alone, except for Jesus and my little dogs. And
yes "Mattie" she has proclaimed me as her mom too. Isn't it great
to be loved by so many friends?
What a wet weekend, and still no sunshine. It looks very
dreary out this morning, no sunshine! My little ones are outside
in their fenced backyard. They are really enjoying this and so am
I! Thanks again Marlyn, you are a true friend. May God always
bless you and yours.
Also, thanks Lord for my friends at the Bronson Motel and
also A&A Restaurant, yes God has blessed me with many friends
and yes Janie knows where the yard sales are, and asks me to go
with her. It's better than staying home, even if I buy a few things
I could live without, and probably don't need at all!! But it's fun
and less "money" ha!
Well I guess I'll shut up, get up, get dressed and take this
down to the Journal. So until next week God bless each of you,
take care and remember Jesus loves all "both black and white."
See you next time

Tallahassee, FL The Muscular Dystrophy Association
is searching for summer camp medical staff, including
registered nurses, physicians and/or paramedics, who
are looking for a rewarding and memorable experience.
Volunteer medical staff are needed to help young people
afflicted with neuromuscular diseases enjoy a fun-filled
MDA summer camp from July 6 through July 13 at Cape
San Blas, in Port St. Joe.
Medical staff must be licensed in the state of Florida and
be able to lift and care for young people between the ages
of 6 and 21. Medical staff will be required to dispense daily
medications as well as assist in any emergency situations.
"Summer camp is the event that our kids think about year-
round," said MDA Regional Coordinator Lisa Heil. "For
one week out of the year, they get to be in an environment
where having a neuromuscular disease is the norm, not the
exception. They have the chance to make friendships and
memories that will last a lifetime."
Heil noted that medical staff and volunteers often say

camp is a magical and memorable time. "It's such a
family environment and a time to make friends for life,"
she said. "It truly is the best week of the year!"
At no charge to families, MDA's summer camp program
serves more than 4,000 campers nationwide. Last year,
over 4,700 volunteers helped make this all possible.
To obtain a medical staff application or learn about
other ways to support MDA's summer camp program, call
the local MDA office in Tallahassee at (850) 681-6763,
or call (800) 572-1717. More information about summer
camp volunteers can be found on the MDA summer camp
pages at www.mdausa.org/clinics/camp/index.cfm.
Muscular Dystrophy Association is a health agency
working to defeat more than 40 neuromuscular diseases
through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive
services, and far-reaching professional and public health
education.
The Association's programs are funded almost
entirely by individual private contributors..

GET FREE GAS AND HELP SAVE A LIFE

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Offers Relief at the Pump this Summer

May 31, 2007- As the summer travel season approaches,

Americans' vacation plans. The Leukemia & Lymphoma

supplies last. As a bonus, the top online Light The Night
fundraiser in July and August will win a special grand prize:
a vacation for four at one of the Marriott Vacation Club
International's Orlando Resort properties, including air
transportation, courtesy of American Airlines.
"The goal of Light The Night to build awareness and
advance the Society's mission to cure blood cancer and
improve the quality of life for patients and their families -
- is a great motivator, in and of itself," said Cathy Cherry,
Executive Director. "But with gas prices so high this summer,
the Society saw this 'Save at the Pump' promotion as a great
added incentive to do something good and get something
good!"
Light The Night Walks will take place in communities
around the country in the fall, with teams of co-workers,
families and friends walking together in twilight holding
illuminated balloons white for survivors and red for
supporters. The (roofs raised help the Society support
leading-edge research and provide much-needed patient,
services. Walks are scheduled this year in

Jacksonville: Riverplace Tower on September 27th
Tallahassee: Downtown Chain of Parks on October
llth
Gainesville: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on October 18th
Ocala: Downtown on the Square on October 25th

HURRICANE

PREPAREDNESS

SHERIFF
JOHNNY SMITH

Welcome to "YOUR SHERIFF'S CORNER." Last week I wrote about Memorial Day, and I
hope you had a great and safe holiday. This week I have written about hurricane preparedness, a
subject that is extremely pertinent to all citizens. As you may or may not know, hurricane season
begins June 1. History teaches that a lack of hurricane awareness and preparation are common
threads among all major hurricane disasters; therefore, I encourage you to prepare yourself and
your families for the potential hurricane threat. You can reduce the effects of a hurricane disaster by
recognizing areas of vulnerability and understanding what actions you should take in preparation
for a hurricane.
Experts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have predicted
thirteen to seventeen named storms, with seven to ten becoming hurricanes and three to five
having the potential to become major hurricanes. While I hope and pray that Levy County does not
encounter any disasters, I also believe it is our responsibility to be as informed and prepared as we
can be this hurricane season.
Levy County has 265 miles of coastal line waterways, and this fact cannot be taken lightly when
faced with the predicted storm threats. Levy County Sheriff's Office and Levy County Emergency
Management prepares and trains throughout the year for any and all disasters. Just last month,
personnel from the Sheriff's Office, Levy County Emergency Management and City Municipalities
attended the 21st Governor's Hurricane Conference in Ft. Lauderdale. This conference provided an
excellent venue for all responders to learn about new programs and continue to foster the important
relationships that are crucial in times of disasters.
Also, on May 24, representatives from the Levy County Sheriff's Office, Levy County
Emergency Management, Dixie County Sheriff's Office and Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office met
with Central Florida Electric Co-op. The goal of this meeting was hurricane preparedness in the
tri-county area. I assure you that Central Florida Electric Co-op is very concerned with the safety
of Levy County citizens, and it is their endeavor to restore power as quickly as possible during a
trying time.
I also want to inform you of a new House Bill signed by Governor Charlie Crist. House Bill
211 establishes a sales tax holiday from June 1-12, 2007 for hurricane preparedness items. I urge
the citizens of Levy County to'take advantage of this tax exemption. Below area few examples
of items that will be exenmptduring the sales tax holiday; for a complete list you can go to www.
floridadisaster.org. '

Tax Exempt Items:
Portable generators $1,000 or less

Portable radios, two way radios & weather band radios $75 or less

Tarps $50 or less Single

Flashlights and other portable, self powered light sources $20
or less carcrash

Batteries AAA, AA, C and D cell, and 6 & 9 volt $30 or less car

Storm shutter devices $200 or less claim s life

Carbon Monoxide detectors $75 or less Walter Eugene Anderson,
52, of Hawthorne was the
victim of a fatal car crash
I encourage all citizens of Levy County to be prepared for any May 30. Anderson was
type of disaster. For more information on how to be prepared traveling east on CR 323 in
you can access the Levy County Emergency Management web Williston at 4:45 a.m. when
page at www.levydisaster.com. Or contact my Public Information his Honda Civic approached

LEVY COUNTY JOURNAL

WE'FS

The staff of Williston Elementary School is saying goodbye
to principal Marla Hiers after only three and a half years. Hiers
announced her departure to staff assembled in the media center
after the last students waved so long for the summer.
Citing her desire to be a stay-at-home wife and mother, she
thanked them for their support and acknowledged them for the part
each had played in the excellence achieved by the school. Under
Hiers' leadership, WES ranked as an "A" school in 2005 '06,
also earning Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under the No Child
Left Behind Act.
Hiers expanded the program inclusion model begun by former
principal Judy Welborn. In addition, the faculty joined the SUMS
Initiative for math and continued training under the Florida
Reading Initiative. At the beginning of the just-completed school
year, the Northeast Florida Education Consortium recognized WES
with an a~ard for increased reading scores. Other innovations
during Hiers' tenure as principal included implementing focus
calendars and intervention groups for reading and math.
When she arrived, the staff welcomed her "on board" with a
nautical theme, including homemade sailors' caps. On the last
day of post-planning, she was honored once more with a "Ben
voyage!" luncheon, which included one of her favorites, a salad
from the Ivy House. Everyone wore those same sailors' caps.
Peggy Brooks handled the decorations.
The school's hospitalitY co-chairs, Laurie Helgerud and Erin
Owens, presented her with a cut crystal vase filled to overflowing
with well wishes from the staff. Assistant principal Cynthia Lewis
presented her with an engraved glass piece, acknowledging her
commitment to academic excellence at WES.
School board member Frank Etheridge said, "We have lost a
good one."
Hiers says she's looking forward to attending the various school
and extra-curricular activities her children are involved in. The
family recently moved into a new home, so fixing that up will be
on her immediate agenda.
"I can't wait to unpack all those boxes in the garage and get
busy working in my yard," said Hiers. "And withikmy children
becoming more involved with their school activities, I'll be
available to attend all of these."
And so it is "Bun voyage, O Captain!" Thank you for all
you've done to continue the tradition of excellence at Williston
Elementary School, Maria Hiers!

Isaac Hardee, a 2007
graduate of Chiefland High
School, has been awarded a
$1,000 scholarship by White
Ford Mercury and Ford Motor
Company.
Isaac's parents are Chris and
Fran Hardee of Chiefland. "Isaac
is excited for the opportunity to
do what he's always dreamed of,
pursue a college degree and play
baseball," said Mrs. Hardee.
Isaac said keys to his
academic standing were to "work
hard in class, get done what I
could during school hours and
balance my time."
Hardee's study skills and
determination has awarded him
the recognition of co-salutatorian
with a GPA of 3.98. Isaac has
received an academic scholarship
to Berry College in Rome, Ga.
His plans include majoring in
Pre-Vet and Veterinary Sciences.
"I'm looking forward to playing
baseball and seeing a new area,"
stated Hardee. In the meantime,
his responsibilities to the
Chiefland Sr. Future Farmers
of America do not end with
graduation. There remains a State
Convention where Isaac will
receive a State Degree gold pin.
Hardee said his most
memorable experiences in FFA,
aside from "learning patience
because animals are stubborn,
is interacting with people of
various backgrounds from all
over the state." Isaac has held
several FFA offices and cites
learning those leadership skills to
be of value, regardless of career
choice.
In looking back over his years
with FFA, Hardee said, "It

wasn't always about winning
but doing your best, learning
while doing and the experiences
you take with you." This speaks
to the FFA mission to make a
positive difference in the lives
of students by developing their
potential for premier leadership,
personal growth and career
success through agricultural
education.
"The national FFA
organization continues to support
the growth and education of
America's future leaders.
The Built Ford Tough Trucks
scholarship program is one

aspect of the million dollar
commitment to the National FFA
Foundation by Ford Trucks,"
stated Don Barrett of White Ford
Mercury in Chiefland.
Ford has supported the
National FFA Foundation since
the first F-Series truck was
introduced in 1948 and has
sponsored the Built Ford Tough
collegiate scholarship program
since 1997. Ford knows the value
of hard work, and believes that
hard work should be rewarded.
"I can appreciate the lessons
in hard work, responsibility,
communication, patience, and

the dedication of caring for an
FFA project from beginning
to end. The Built Ford Tough
Trucks/FFA Scholarship
Program-is designed to
recognize FFA members' talents
and accomplishments while
encouraging future academic

Even though Chiefland's annual
Watermelon Festival is an event
lots of folks wait all year for, these
contenders for the Soggy Bottom
Boys were not whining about needing
to cancel it this year. David Leach,
Sammy Cason, Miles Andrews and
Hank Terechenok remained after the
event was called off, talking about the
rain and looking at all those melons.
The four had intended to spend the
day handing out juicy slices to festival
goers. Things just didn't work out that
way.

"Our job was going to be to move
the melons and go and slice them,"
Miles Andrews said. "Mr. Sammy has
them going in a different direction
now." He added that the melons, all
provided by Murray Tillis of Tillis Farm,
were especially juicy this year.
The area received several inches
of badly needed rain, mellowing the
effects of the area's ongoing drought.
According to Suwannee River Water
Management District's website, 4.86
inches of rain fell at Manatee Springs.
The watermelon festival will just
have to wait. Maybe the sun will shine
over Chiefland the first Saturday in
June next year..
